Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Palpitations Along With Tight Sensation In The Neck?
I have a feeling like my heart is beating fast and sometimes it is accompanied by a throbbing up the side of my neck and a tightness in my neck and chest. I also seem to yawn excessively while this is happening. It is always when I am sitting down at work or in the evenings when I am watching TV or when I get in bed. If I am up and active it does not occur.

Hello, In my opinion throbbing with palpitations may be due to anxiety/hypothyroidism. Yawning may be due to hypoglycemia. Chest tightness may be due to reflux. It is advisable to get your thyroid hormones and blood sugar levels checked.
